What are you paying for Google storage that it's cheaper than NAS storage?

Maybe they're still on a G Suite Business / Workspace with the storage quota exceeded. Until earlier this year, Google didn't do anything about exceeded quotas, and many had more than the included 5TB stored in their drive. I've seen people who had 100s of TB! I myself "only" have ~25TB, which I'm finally downloading to my local storage these days. When Google began caring about the storage quotas, they froze all accounts with exceeded quotas, blocking any new uploads – but if you keep paying the subscription (~20€), they'll retain the frozen files for an extended time period of a year or two (don't remember) after they gave the first notice.
